"Need a new laptop? It's a tough decision. If you're like most people, a laptop is one of the most expensive tech purchases you'll make, and it's something you'll use and live with nearly every day for years to come. So there's a lot riding on this pricey expense."
"Though the MacBook Air is still the easy recommendation for most people, that doesn't make it the go-to answer for everyone. What if you need more power for video or photo editing, or for crunching large datasets? What if you prefer to run Windows? What if you play lots of games and want to take them with you? Or what if you want something that's super repairable, or something that's unusual?"
"We've got some recommendations, including a Chromebook or two, a laptop with two screens, the 16-inch MacBook Pro, and the Microsoft Surface Laptop with a Snapdragon X Elite chip."
"I've tested all kinds of laptops, from cheap Windows computers and Chromebooks to bread-and-butter MacBooks and over-the-top gaming machines. These are the ones I recommend the most and why I think they might be a good fit for you."
Buying a laptop is a major, long-term decision because it is expensive and used daily for years. Laptop recommendations cover a range of needs, including general use, higher performance for video and photo editing, and computing for large datasets. Options also address preferences for running Windows instead of macOS, and for playing games while traveling. Recommendations include a Chromebook, a laptop with two screens, the 16-inch MacBook Pro, and a Microsoft Surface Laptop with a Snapdragon X Elite chip. The MacBook Air remains a common default, but alternatives are suggested when specific requirements differ.
